My intensely relates to' combination ties and collars, and has to do more particularly with the provision of a one-piece tie and col-'- lar adapted for attachment to shirts, being mg drawlng, in which" 1 the outer or turn-down portion 6. In this directed more particularly toan article in "which the tie portions extend from the ends ofthe collar at the front and are' 'sha ped so as to be formed intoa tie, such as a bow tie or a four-'in-hand tie. For a better understanding of my invention reference is to be had tofthe accompany- Fig. 1 shows the ordinaryosoftturndown collar with the tie portions attached directly thereto or extending therefrom, p Fig. 2 shows the collar and tie of Fig. l with the tie formed up; 1

Fig. 8 shows a collar with thetie shaped up. as a four-in-hand tie, and

Thetie portions? and 8 are preferably slightly narrower at the meeting points 9 and 10,so that the tie may be more readily formed. W

In Fig. 3 I have shown the collarf5' asbe-' ing attached directly to a shirt 11, that is,

permanently attached as is usual with soft shirts. The tie in this form of my invention is shown as a .four-in-hand, but it will be apparent that either type of tie maybe used, as desired. 1

V In using the detachable collar such as is shown in Figs. land 2, the tie and collar 'may of course be laundered separately from the shirt, as is customary now with, the soft collars in general use. I

shirt, or ofa suitable white or other matec-ollar and tie may be made up in various ways so that the collar may be laundered as the usual stifi collar'but the tie maybe left iso'ft so thatit may be' readily formed up as desired.
